      [PATCH] SCSI tape fix for oops in read with wrong block size · 81e69e6f
      Kai Mäkisara authored
      This corrects the following problem:
      
      - release user buffer mapping early in read path (prevent oops in some
        HBA drivers)

      [PATCH] IPMI updates for 2.6.0-test3 · 9bc63696
      Corey Minyard authored
      Here are some minor updates to the IPMI driver.  They fix the following:
      
          * A missing check for copy_to_user() in the watchdog driver.
          * Removal of unnecessary check_region() calls.
          * Fixes for the ACPI configuration. The previous one would only work
            with memory addresses, this will work with memory addresses,
            ports, and hadle checking that the type is correct.

      [PATCH] hpt366 fix · b8850b35
      Andries E. Brouwer authored
      The HPT366 code is broken - it tries to set the interface to too high a
      speed, which leads to error messages at boot time and/or to data
      corruption.
      
      The typical effect at boot time is
      
       hde: set_drive_speed_status: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
       hde: set_drive_speed_status: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
      
      Fixed thus.

      [PATCH] Fix bug in sunrpc/server code. · 4a01bf9d
      Neil Brown authored
      When a socket has a request ready it notifies a server thread.
      When the thread has 'received' the request it calls svc_sock_received
      to confirm the fact.
      
      In some cases, svc_sock_received would be called an extra time and
      this could lead to linked-list corruption and bad problems.

      [PATCH] Disable buggy raid5 handling of read-ahead · 3dd25fa7
      Neil Brown authored
      raid5 tries to honour RWA_MASK, but messes it up and can return bad data.
      Just ignore RAW_MASK for now.

      [PATCH] x86-64 merge for 2.6.0test3 · 8b49c803
      Andi Kleen authored
      Without these changes an x86-64 NUMA kernel won't boot in many
      configurations.
      
      The main change is the improved IOMMU code which supports merging of
      mappings and has various bugfixes.
      
       - Update defconfig
       - Use argument ptregs in 32bit elf_core_copy_task_fpregs
       - Harden aperture fixup code: read aperture from the AGP bridge if needed,
         better error checking.
       - Support nmi_watchdog=panic to panic on watchdog trigger
       - IOMMU: Support panic on IOMMU overflow (iommu=panic)
       - IOMMU: Force SAC for mappings >40bits when iommu=force is active
         (this can potentially give better performance)
       - IOMMU: Cache northbridges for faster TLB flush
       - IOMMU: Fix SMP race in TLB flush
       - IOMMU: Merge pci_alloc_consistent and pci_map_single
       - IOMMU: Clean up leak tracing
       - IOMMU: Rewrite pci_map_sg, support merging of mappings
         On overflow fall back to piece-by-piece mapping.
       - IOMMU: Tell block layer to assume merging when iommu force is active
         (this gives better performance with MTP fusion, drawback is that the
         overflow/fragmentation handling of the IOMMU area is still a big
         dubious with that)
       - Fix/clean up per cpu data
       - Add 64bit clean time(2)
       - Export cpu_callout_map for IPv6
       - Handle nodes with no own memory in NUMA discovery.
         This fixes boot on various newer Opteron motherboards where the memory
         is only connected to a single CPU.
       - Fix fallback path for failed NUMA discovery. numnodes has to be reset.
       - Check for enabled nodes in NUMA discovery (Eric Biederman)
       - Remove NUMA emunodes support. Has badly bitrotted.
       - Add __clear_bit_string for IOMMU code
       - Add new 32bit system calls to ia32_unistd.h
       - Remove duplicate default_do_nmi prototype
       - Make PCI_DMA_BUS_IS_PHYS dependent on no_iommu
       - Fix padding length of siginfo_t to match glibc
       - More pci direct access functions.
